Where Filmed

Filming Locations: Where is Legacies filmed?

The next generation of witches, vampires and werewolves attending the legendary Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted has arrived. Legacies is the third installment off of The CW series The Vampire Diaries, and the spinoff of The Originals.

This time we will follow the adventures of the teenage daughter of The Originals main character Klaus, hybrid Hope Mikaelson, played by Danielle Rose Russell. Matthew Davis also returns to the fictional town of Mystic Falls as Alaric Saltzman.

Legacies was filmed in Georgia, basically sharing the same filming locations as its predecessors The Originals and The Vampire Diaries. As usual, we will be updating every week this spoiler-free report with new details about where the show is filmed:

Mystic Falls Courthouse or The Clock Tower is the Newton County Board of Commissioners, located in the famouse Square in Covington. This place is virtually the soul and heart of the franchise.

The Salvatore Boarding School was filmed for the first season of The Vampire Diaries at the historic Glenridge Hall Mansion in Sandy Springs. For season two and on, the building was reproduced in a set at the studio. Sadly, the original manor from 1929 was demolished and all its magnificent gardens and surrounding forest were razed to the ground in 2015, to make room for urban development.Image courtesy of The CW and Google Maps

The Olde Town in Conyers is also going to be the setting of the New Orleans French Quarter for the new series.Image courtesy of Skarg and Google Maps
